Only in Naija- is that so??????

Well this will be what some will consider free writing.... My step-grandmother(we all know how that is sometimes) passed away in March and she will be getting buried this friday. Come to find out that rumor has it that she was killed(spiritually). One of my cuz asked me that why is is that one can not just die and let it be accepted as such. I also spoke with someone who told me a young lady about my age was killed because she did not want to get married. The question now is why would people pay others to find wives for them, is that not a form of slavery??????
To top it off this week, my car died and caused me to get to work 2hrs late...... this week has been quite interesting, but I will not be trapped in touchy feelly situations. I have been blessed to come in contact with individuals who have a wealth of encouraging words and experiences. of course backed by God's grace.

Luke 8:21 Jesus replied, " My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God's word and obey it".

Naija rule

Well as the time draws near, I begin to understand the pressures that come with having a wedding in Nigeria with Nigerian family members...... Everyone has something to say about the way everything should be done. The interesting thing is my intended does not seem to be bothered by any of the "do it this way talk" from his end. I am feeling stressed cause of all the mind multitasking I have going on and I really need to concentrate on the Joy of the Lord as my Strength.

Luke 6:46 So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord!' when you don't do what I say?

Naija fever

In exactly two weeks I will be packed and ready to get on the plane to Naija, abeg somebody pinch me. I went to a traditional wedding of a friend last nite and it was quite interesting...... I no know why some weddings just dey make person won hurry up marry. The bride was so beautiful, and even though I did not personally know her, she made me feel as though we have been friends since forever(LOL)...... The white wedding is on Saturday, but I would need to be seriously crazy or superwoman to be able to make it, with my jam packed schedule between now and when I go on my trip. So many things to do, so many gifts to buy, so little time to pack. Everyone is getting ready for my introduction in Ibadan, but I am seriously nervous about meeting the parents of my intended in Benin..... Oh by the way the wedding I went to yesterday was a Benin wedding and everyone including the children spoke the language. I felt like I was intruding, *humph* this won wey I de won marry Benin man so, I hope den no go sell me one day. The best part of my trip will be the second week into my trip, I will be in Abuja for the whole week. After all the traveling and preparation/ events during the first week, I can finally enjoy some deserved time with my intended.
So guess what I did........ I called my cuz in London and her sis in Lagos. I want have a full nite to me and my girls, I already contacted some of my main chicks in naija and we are going to paint the town red....... This of course if dependant on knowing where all the parties are going to be in the last weekend in august. This plan is making my intended see green and I am like " my dear you can come and watch if you want".... ROFL

Luke 1:14 You will have great joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth.....
